As an undergraduate Health and Physical Education major, I am very interested in my first job. Now my question is teaching high school P.E. I know students do not like to come to P.E and be physically active. I was wondering if anyone had ideas that can help me encourage students to enjoy coming to my class and participating along with establishing authority with in the classroom. |

The whole climate of your class will be effected on a few different fronts. First, first impressions are huge. If you come across the first day as if PE is the most important class they need to take all the while keeping it fun and light hearted, and you follow through on this through your actions, you will more than likely have a class that mirrors this image. When you do get challenged, and you will, on your authority to how you run the class, it will also go a long way to show the class how you handle the students (at the high school discipline should always be given one one one and not in front of a group) as well as how you follow-through on your consequences. Adding all of these pieces together should help you out immensely. Good luck!! |

It will be a challenge especially when a lot of the athletes will be out of regular PE since they will be playing a sport. I do agree with Anthony, you have to be firm and follow through on your consequences if you don't follow through then their behavior will probably worsen. I teach middle school but I did student teaching at both high school and middle school and I think that the first impression counts a lot. You have to be firm and as soon as someone acts up you must provide consequences (this will set an example and will help with other behaviors). I believe you have to start firm at the beginning of the year so that it minimizes problems then if you feel that this is not like you, you can start to ease up (by then behaviors should not be a problem). I like to run with my kids when I can and this motivates them and they do not feel like it is punishment and they will respect you for that! Be firm, open, and have good communication with your students (be hard, but not too hard that they are afraid of you). Hopes this helps. |
